I really enjoyed the flavor of the cigar and would buy it again with one exception. It burns a little quick so I will need a larger and more expensive size. That’s the only drawback.

GREAT GIGAR, THIS HAS NOW BECOME MY GO TOO.

This is a GREAT smoke!

I enjoy the Oliva V Belicoso cigar.

several with difficult draw and loose wrapper

"i'm a lot like this cigar...."short but not too big around."

Very consistent product, great taste and great value

Great for after dinner at special occasions and to share with special people that would appreciate a great cigar

Nice smoke

Have always been a good smoke and a good price

well constructed cigar, great flavor and easy draw, cigar for everyday or special occasion.

In 2007, CA rated Opus, Montecristo & Oliva torpedoes as the # 2, 3 & 4 cigars. So why am I only giving it 4 stars? Well, I would have given it 4.5. If you take into account cost, yes the Oliva is a great torpedo - a five star. But while the flavor is right up there (but not quite that close, IMO) with Opus and the Cuban torpedo, the construction of the Oliva can very. I've had some uneven burns, and tight draws that needed lancing or recutting. Still good smoke and flavor, even in those cases. Again, for $6 or $7 (versus $15, 20 or more for top notch torpedoes), its a great deal. If price was no object, then I would put it a (small) step below the Big Boys.

The Oliva Series V Belicoso is a fine shorter smoking cigar good anytime of day. My latest sticks have had more stems in them than is appropriate for a top rate cigar. This gives an off woody taste to an otherwise medium/full smoke with good spice and no lingering aftertaste. Draw was hard initially but I recut the Belicoso shaped end to even with the cigar body which fixed the problem immediately. Recommended

This cigar is robust, full-bodied, smooth - I simply consider it a deep smoke. It is smooth to the very end - no bitterness at the very end like many cigars, and I do my best to get every last draw out of it. I had one at a special occasion and decided to splurge on myself, and have no regrets. A great value, high-end smoke.

Good consistent full bodied Cigar. Warning this cigar is smooth as full bodied cigars go but has some kick. I do not rate it as high as the Oliva Serie V Figurado or the Prensado Churchill, but it is smaller smoke and is easy to handle while fishing or yard work. I don't think the cigar has quite the flavor or smoothness as the Prensado or the Oliva Figurado. Having said that those two previous mentioned cigars are 1 1/2 hour smokes and what I like to call event or afternoon with nothing to do but watch a game, read a book or bs with friends. This cigar has bite but is not harsh lots of cedar and tobacco flavor. Mild to Medium smokers will probably want to steer clear. It fits my taste though and as such after 5 boxes I still go for it. Good pick for full bodied smokers limited time or doing something active.

Warning!!! This cigar packs a serious punch, beware. Now that you know this, proceed with caution. I give stars only because the 1 I smoked had an unraveling wrapper. I'm sure this is a one off issue. Nonetheless, I continued to puff away. The flavor & consistency was good. The draw was a little firm, but cool. I put it down for longer than usual (ref. serious punch). With all this I say, keep these in your humidor for those nights you really need to to relax & "getaway"!

This is a great cigar. I like the lager guages of the Series V. Very smooth consistent throughout the entire smoke. By far, one of my favories.

One of the best cigars me & friends enjoyed.

Unique and superb full to medium flavor cigar that is soothing, not harsh, on the throat. Creamy cocoa flavor. My favorite cigar!

Oliva V is on top of the World both smooth and yummy. Never harsh.

I went out with a couple friends and we all smoked a couple during the night and they were outstanding. I recommend them all my friends.

Great flavor and easy to enjoy this cigar!

I bought a 5 pax and smoked 3 or 4 of them. I thought this was a very nice cigar. A good 30-40 minutes to smoke. I will buy these again.

This is a good one folks. Has high rating and delivers. I see other reviewers mention the tight roll but loosening up in the humidor. I found this to be the case as well. All in all a tasty well built cigar that will not disapoint you. Plan on having a nicotine glow when you are finished too.

I got my first box of Olivas via the Series V. I bought it because of the ratings. The ratings are accurate. These are excellent cigars with pleasant wood aromas and a balanced compliment of cashew, malt and cinnamon flavors. Just a hint of spice at the start. Get yourself in a calm place so you can enjoy the full experience this cigar offers. The box I got was a bit tight on the draw when first opened but has opened up after a month in the humidor.

The Olivia seires V belicoso did not dissapoint. This is a well constructed cigar that burns evenly and has a nice finish. The warapper is beautiful, the draw is great, the smoke has hints of chocolate(at least thats what I taste.) Pick a couple up, you wont be disappointed.

By a campfire with a glass of Crown Black on he rocks

This is one of my favorite cigars. When I want to relax with a really good cigar, this cigar is my first choice. I recently sent a five pack to my father for his birthday, and he was delighted!

good quality cigar.

These smokes are worth every penny!

The cigar was good, but there were problems with burn. Hot spots would develope at certain areas on cigar and cause uneven burn.I liked the "Champagne" edition but the maduro had problems
